Gift Orban, who made headlines after his remarkable goal-scoring spree at Belgian club Gent, could be forced to seek a new club before the transfer window shuts. Despite joining Lyon for €14 million in January, the 22-year-old has found it challenging to break into the starting lineup.
Orban, who netted 20 goals in just 22 appearances for Gent, was expected to make a significant impact in Ligue 1. However, under the management of Pierre Sage, the striker has seen limited action and hasn’t featured at all since the start of the new season. Reports indicate that this decision is tactical rather than injury-related.
With Lyon reportedly open to letting him leave to balance their finances, and with just days left before the transfer market closes, Orban might need to find a new team to ensure he gets the playing time he needs to continue his development.
